On Saturday, November 17th a new pair of Bandai One Piece Figuarts Zero figures sailed into stores in Japan: Captain Red-Haired Shanks and Ben Beckman of the Red-Haired Pirates! This is the third figure of Red-Haired Shanks released in the Bandai Figuarts Zero One Piece collection.

Last week I posted my first One Piece Figuarts Zero figure review on this site with the swordsman of the Strawhat Pirates crew, Roronoa Zoro (Battle Ver.). Today, I’m following up with a review of his counterpart in the Marines, the female lieutenant swordsman, Tashigi! Tashigi is the first woman serving in the Marines that we’re introduced in the One Piece storyline, as she’s a lieutenant serving under Captain Smoker. …

Today I’ve got the two newest reveals in Banpresto’s One Piece Grandline Men DX Figure line: Captain Fisher Tiger and Arlong of the Sun Pirates. This is an especially compelling pair of figures to release, because of the three …

For a dress that Boa Hancock only wears in a few panels of the One Piece manga and to-date hasn’t worn at all in the One Piece anime, the Boa Hancock Blue Version sure gets around in toy form! First the One Piece P.O.P. (Portrait of Pirates) Boa Hancock Blue Ver. figure by MegaHouse went up for pre-order last week, and now Bandai has announced and revealed an all-new One …

One of the coolest new items that debuted last week at the Banpresto 30th Prize Fair was the first figure in a new brand of the One Piece World Collectable Figures line: WCF Mega Franky Shogun!

Along with the limited Boa Hancock figure, MegaHouse opened pre-orders today for a regular release Portrait of Pirates Neo-DX figure: Shiliew (Shiryu) of the Rain! Shiliew is introduced in the Impel Down arc of One Piece. He is formerly the head jailer of Impel Down, but his brutality and unruliness caused Magellan to imprison Shiliew on Level 6 with all of the worst criminals. Shiliew is recruited by Marshall D. …

If there’s one thing that MegaHouse is wild about, it’s releasing limited versions of the One Piece “mascot”, Tony Tony Chopper! While there are a veritable army of exclusive Chopperman Portrait of Pirate figures, this review is of the very first Portrait of Pirates Sailing Again exclusive (Chopper or otherwise): P.O.P. Chopper Kyupin Version! Kyupin Chopper was an exclusive to Wonder Festival Summer 2012 and Chara Hobby, but it’s long …

Today is a pretty exciting day for One Piece Portrait of Pirates fans, as two new P.O.P. figures go up for order today. One is especially compelling, as it’s the next Limited exclusive figure: One Piece POP Neo-EX Boa Hancock Blue Ver.!

It’s hard to believe, but despite being the first member of the crew recruited by Strawhat Luffy, Roronoa Zoro Battle Version is only the second One Piece Figuarts Zero Roronoa Zoro figure Bandai released. Considering there are three Boa Hancock figures already, you’d think Roronoa Zoro would have more of a presence in the line. But sadly, he just doesn’t. Luckily, there may not be much need for another Roronoa …
